”It was a competition organized jointly by all the famous catering organizations in the country. Every restaurant that was selected sent a representative to participate in this Big Stomach King Competition. Ru Family's Four Seasons Hotel was also participating in the competition. I think, how about we let you, as the representative of the Four Seasons Hotel, participate in this competition? ”
Li Mengxin explained as she swirled the cup of red wine in her hand.
”Big Stomach King Competition, this is really strange, why is there such a boring competition?”
Du Lei curled his lips.
Even though he could eat a lot, it did not mean that he thought that being able to eat was a skill that was worthy of showing off.
The Big Stomach King was not a race champion, gymnastics champion, or dancing champion. Apart from proving that you were a rice bucket, there didn't seem to be any glory.
”It's quite boring, but the company doesn't care about that. The catering agencies, hosting the competition and sending representatives, were just adding a bit of visibility and planting a bit of soft advertising. When radio interviews and newspapers were published, even if it was a joke, as long as the people liked it, the company would also increase its exposure... Especially the Big Gastric King as the food and drink organization that he represents would be remembered by the common folk all of a sudden. The benefits would be great … ”
Li Mengxin continued to explain.
”Du Lei, we are just asking if you are interested. If you are not willing to participate, it is fine.”
Han Yueru explained on the side.
”The champion of the Big Stomach King Competition has a prize of one million.”
Li Mengxin was enticing.
”F * ck, with so much money, of course I would join!”
Du Lei slapped his thigh in excitement, his eyes glowing.
He's so poor and mad right now. If he were to join this Big Stomach King Competition, with his current gluttonous abilities, wanting to be champion would just be playing around. He could easily get a million, that's not often.
”Hehe, Lil 'Ru, looks like your family group's hotel can be heavily advertised this time.”
Li Mengxin hugged her arms, slightly supporting her chest, she smiled and said to Han Yueru.
So be it.
Big Stomach King Competition's time was a week later.
After chatting for a while, Li Mengxin brought Han Yueru to go shopping, then Du Lei left the hotel.
It was already afternoon, so Du Lei slowly walked along the road under the shade of a palm tree.
The afternoon sun shone down on the palm trees. The rippling green light was like a living sea.
Beside the road, there was an extremely wide lake, which was sparkling with light. This was the Dragon Lake that everyone in the Rong City knew of.
Wandering Dragon Lake was connected to the Banyan River, and also to the Yangtze River.
Far away, Du Lei saw another fisherman sitting by the lake.
He found a place where others didn't pay attention to the lake, so as to prevent others from seeing it. He mistakenly thought that it was a young man who couldn't fall out of love, so he jumped into the lake and called the police.
As he jumped into the ice-cold lake, Du Lei suddenly felt as if he was a fish in water.
The pattern on Du Lei's chest lit up, as traces of warmth flowed through. With a light swing of his arms and legs, his entire body, like a swordfish, started to take on the shape of a shuttle in the water.
”This feeling!”
Du Lei was shocked.
Du Lei used to be able to swim, but he wasn't very good at it.
However, in that moment, he had casually swayed his body, as if he didn't feel the resistance of the water at all. He was able to swim in the water and was even more comfortable than if he were running on land!
It was as if he were more like a fish in water than a land movement primate.
Phelps was probably on his knees when he went to the swimming Olympics.
”Is it because of Tyrant's tattoo?”
He was a legendary water attribute divine beast, a descendant of the Black Tortoise.
If they were in a dominant position, they would be even more comfortable in the water than on land.
Du Lei seemed to have thought of something, and then, he dived into the water of the lake.
At the bottom of the clear swimming dragon lake, Du Lei swam nimbly like a fish.
He had discovered a very mysterious state!
That was, he realized that he could actually ”breathe” in water.
It was as if the countless pores on his body were able to absorb the dissolved oxygen in the water.
He had been swimming underwater for twenty minutes, but he didn't seem to have any difficulty breathing.
”Damn, I've become an aquatic animal.”
Du Lei muttered in his heart.
”However, this is good as well. If they really become aquatic animals, then we'll be rich in the future, especially in the sea. If we can find treasure or dig a sunken ship, then we'll turn into wealthy people!”
Thinking of this possibility, Du Lei's eyes shone with excitement.
”I wonder how strong my body can withstand pressure and how deep I can go into the water!”
As for the ordinary divers, they were also in a difficult position.
The world's fiercest record was 300 meters underwater, which required a diving device.
Du Lei felt that his physique was much better than before. He didn't know how deep he could go, but this Wandering Dragon Lake was only a few metres deep. It couldn't be detected at all.
